Why pros end with lifted elbow after serving

Serving

Michael Elia Asked 12 years ago

Hi Coach Alois & Jeff

Why do players like Mizutani, ZJK, Ma long,etc.... end with lifted elbow after serving?

Thank you very much and keep up your great work!!!!

Hi Michael,

This just adds to the deception of the serve. By plighting the elbow it gives the illusion of topspin even if the bat is moving downwards or sideways.

Backhand Tomahawk Serve

In this lesson we show you how to execute the Backhand Tomahawk serve. This is a good complement to the Tomahawk serve. By utilising a similar action, it will make it difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball and spin are going.
